Ethiopian Flat Bread- Injera

Posted on October 16, 2018August 15, 2020 by amynwaite
Injera is difficult to make and it is recommended you watch some “how-to” videos before making, these and my french baguette loaf are defiantly my go to for breakfast.
Ingredients
  • 2 cups teff flour, brown or ivory , or substitute a portion of it with some barley

Note: If you’re new to making injera I recommend using a combination of teff and barley as 100% teff is hard to work with

  • 3 slightly warm cups water
  • 1/4 teaspoon dry active yeast)
Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine water and yeast.  Then slowly incorporate flour into the water by adding only 1/2 cup at a time and knead with hands. The dough will resemble clay when done.  Loosely place some plastic wrap on the bowl and let the mixture sit undisturbed at room temperature for 4-5 days (the longer it ferments, the deeper and more sour the flavor). (Depending on what kind of flour you’re using, you may need to add a little more water if the mixture is becoming dry.)  The mixture will be fizzy after fermenting, the color will be very dark and, depending on the humidity, a layer of yeast will have formed on the top. This is normal.  Pour off the yeast/mold and as much of the liquid as possible. A clay-like batter will remain. Give it a good stir.

  2. In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Stir in 1/2 cup of the injera batter, whisking constantly until it is thickened. This will happen pretty quickly. Then stir the cooked/thickened batter back into the original fermented batter. Add some water to the batter to thin it out to the consistency of crepe batter. I added about 2/3 cup water but this will vary from batch to batch. The batter will have a sweet-soured nutty smell.
  3. Heat oil coated skillet over medium heat. Spread the bottom of the skillet with the injera batter – not as thin as crepes but not as thick as traditional pancakes. Allow the injera to bubble and let the bubbles pop. Once the bubbles have popped, place a lid on top of the pan and turn off the heat. Let the injera steam cook for a couple or so more minutes until cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the injera or they will become gummy and soggy. Remove the injera with a spatula and repeat.

    Hey there! Quick question that’s totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site
    mobile friendly? My site looks weird when browsing from my iphone 4.
    I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to fix this problem.
    If you have any suggestions, please share. Many thanks!
